19.09.202413:13 Analisis Forex & Kajian: EUR/USD: Trading Plan for the U.S. Session on September 19 (Review of Morning Trades)

In my morning forecast, I highlighted the level of 1.1151 and planned to make market entry decisions based on it. Let us review the 5-minute chart to analyze what happened. A rise and the formation of a false breakout near 1.1151 led to a selling entry for the euro, but there was no significant decline. After a 10-point correction, the euro resumed its growth. I have now revised the technical picture for the second half of the day.

For opening long positions on EUR/USD:

We await the release of U.S. weekly initial jobless claims, the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index, and the current account balance. There is also a report on existing home sales, which plays a secondary role. Considering how actively the euro was bought throughout the first half of the day, without a major seller emerging (which now seems unlikely), betting on the continued rise of EUR/USD appears prudent. If U.S. data turns out to be very strong, we might see a correction, which I plan to capitalize on. A false breakout near the closest support at 1.1155 will create the necessary conditions for long positions, continuing the bullish trend with the target of restoring the pair to the 1.1198 level – a new key resistance level. A breakout followed by a retest from above will lead to further growth towards testing 1.1237. The final target will be 1.1274, where I will take profit.

If EUR/USD declines and there is no buying interest around 1.1155 in the second half of the day, pressure on the pair will increase, leading to a larger selloff. In that case, I will enter long positions only after a false breakout near the next support at 1.1116, which lies just above the moving averages. Alternatively, I will consider opening long positions on the first sign of a rebound from 1.1074, targeting an intraday upward correction of 30-35 points.

For opening short positions on EUR/USD:

Sellers will have a chance to push the euro down if U.S. data is strong, or if large players take action around the resistance at 1.1198. A false breakout there will provide an ideal condition for opening short positions, aiming for a small correction and a retest of the 1.1155 support level, formed during the first half of the day. A breakout and consolidation below this range, followed by a retest from below, will provide another selling opportunity, with a target of 1.1116, where I expect large euro buyers to emerge. The final target will be the 1.1074 level, which would cancel bulls' plans for further growth. I will take profit there.

If EUR/USD rises and sellers don't appear at 1.1198, buyers will continue building the bullish trend, with a potential move towards updating the resistance at 1.1237. I will also consider selling there but only after a failed breakout. I plan to open short positions immediately on a rebound from 1.1274, targeting a downward correction of 30-35 points.

In the COT (Commitment of Traders) report for September 3, there was a reduction in both long and short positions. Despite the decrease in euro sellers, the bearish technical picture for the pair remains unchanged. The euro is likely to continue losing ground against the U.S. dollar this week, as we approach the European Central Bank meeting, where another rate cut and further monetary policy adjustments are expected. However, this does not cancel the medium-term uptrend for the euro, and the lower the pair goes, the more attractive it becomes for buying.

The COT report shows that non-commercial long positions decreased by 2,412 to 215,969, while short positions fell by 9,592 to 115,951. As a result, the gap between long and short positions increased by 4,918.
